Categories
The 2003 ASHRAE Student Design Project Competition focuses on the design of a two-story educational building to be constructed on a medium size college campus in Singapore. The purpose of the building is to provide learning spaces for the students and office spaces for the faculty.
The Student Design Project Competition teams may compete and be evaluated in any or all of the following categories. Click on any of the following categories for the respective design and evaluation criteria:
The HVAC system selection project groups will concentrate on determining the best system for the application, while the HVAC system design project groups will perform a detailed design for a single type of system. Both groups will prepare their designs using CADD generated architectural plans provided by ASHRAE, unless they are working with an architectural project group that will give them this information.
The architectural teams will use the site plans and criteria provided by ASHRAE to generate their building designs including the architectural program for the spaces describing relevant information on building use and function. Mechanical contestants are strongly encouraged to read the Architectural Program for relevant information on space functions and occupant densities. Contestants may utilize SI or Imperial units of measure in all calculations and documentation, but must be consistent in units chosen.
All students regardless of their geographic location are encouraged to enter the competition. The judges recognize that some students may not have the experience necessary to accurately design a complete heating and cooling system. To ensure that students are not penalized for this inexperience, the scoring focuses more on the student’s approach and methodology then on actual results.
